Regan Zane, Ph.D

Regan Zane is a USTAR professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at Utah State University (USU) and is director of USU’s Power Electronics Lab. He studies how electric vehicles can recharge while in motion on the open road. Zane is expanding technology that will improve power conversion efficiency, power density and in-motion capacity of the wireless charging stations. There are many commercialization opportunities, but for now Zane hopes to demonstrate the safety and reliability of electric vehicles through tests. Their studies will influence the market to reduce costs so electric vehicles can be cheaper and better quality than common internal combustion vehicles.
